This color is very appropriate for Fall and plays on that ever so popular vampire theme. I love the fact that this is a trend can can be shared by all women. More importantly you can find this finish in matte, stain, glosses...need I go on!

My recommendation for Dark Plum lips on WOC would be to pair it with gold & bronzed eyes.

My recommendation for Dark Plum lips on fair skin tones would be to pair it with dark eyes to make your eyes pop!

I really liked how my soft skin felt after using the mask. The best part is the micro beads which makes exfoliating easy. If you don't like overly fruity scents I wouldn't recommend this because its very strong. Personally I didn't have a problem keeping it on my face 20 minutes.

Honestly the ($51.00) price is a major set back. That is A LOT of money to spend on one product but I will admit this jar will last awhile!

I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin, so the D’sensi Cream & Derma Brightening Complex didn`t work for me.

I may re-introduce it during the winter months to see if there is any change.

I got a 10 piece brush set to try from BHcosmetics. I have everything from high end to low end in my kit but I wanted some affordable brushes for my personal use. I actually got these brushes in June.. So I had a few months to test them. I even brought them to Cuba..lol.

These brushes come in convient black zippered pouch which can easily fit in your purse.

Shiseido's 1-2-3 skincare regimen brings you all the aspects of beautiful skin: moisture, smoothness and refined texture. Shiseido's best kept secret is step 2 Soften, which replenishes the skin's moisture after cleansing and prepares it for deeper penetration of serum and moisturizer. Your skin will feel these benefits more effectively than the conventional cleanser - moisturizer regimen.

I got the opportunity to choose two E.L.F Mineral Lipstick from the website. I chose Cherryful Cherry (plum red) & Prime Plum (plum brown). I'm going to start off by saying that I don't like the swatches on the website.

Cherryful Cherry looks like a nude brown with a hint by the look of that swatch..

Here is a shot of Cherryful Cherry from my camera

Two totally different things! Surprisingly Cherryful Cherry is more gorgeous in pictures than on the website!

The heat got to this one and it broke :(

HD camera = every little tiny hair on my face..

This color is gorgeous! I'd say it is a satin finish. No frost or shimmer in it at all.

Also very appropriate for daytime.

Prime Plum is very sheer. It was like a sheer tint for my lips.

PRO:

Price

Smooth

100% mineral

CON:

Swatches appear different on the website

No explanation of the color description or finishes.

Overall I personally don't mind spending $5.00 on a lipstick but I wish the finishes were labeled on the website.

I always forget about my HIP duos because they are not depotted yet... but I'm working on it!
I wore this look out to a rib fest with my girl :)
Quick, fast and very pretty!
Here are the colors I used:

I'm obsessed with nudes..get your mind out of the gutter I mean nude lip colors.
I think my love first started when I saw Kim K rocking it with a gorgeous smokey eye..I made it my mission to find some nude colors that us WOC could wear too :)
